OFFICIAL RX480 PRELAUNCH THREAD #5

What aftermarket brand are you gonna buy edition.

Does HIS still make AMD cards?

Back in the day I bought a HIS 4830. Love that card. Still works to this day.

Poo

when does the embargo lift exactly? when do we get the infos?

10 hours i think

In 5 hours, 15 minutes. NDA lifts at 9:00am EST

Sapphire vapor-x or Nitro

IN DA LOO

I'm still holding on for a miracle and hoping it is better than the 390x

Gonna buy a 970 instead

D

Gonna buy used 970 instead.

Told you niggers they'll fix driver overhead with hardware.

>buying used
enjoy your artifacting

Good for you...go back to the old thread.

AMD heat sink does not need a vapor tube.

>What aftermarket brand are you gonna buy edition.
I don't pay a huge amount of attention since I haven't gotten a new VGA in a number of years, but if I recall Powercolor did good work with AMD.

For whatever reason my impression is that ASUS and Gigabyte are better for Nvidia.

Probably them too. The main thing is to not get an MSI.

you cant say that rajesh! we are cutting 5 rupees from your salary today

>nvidia mongrels faces when they buy 970s and 980s based on DX11 games and in 6 months when all games are DX12 they lose miserably

It's the 290 launch all over again.

stop falling for bait, go to the old thread for a flame war.

RX 490 confirmed for 2016.

...

where can I buy it ?

but is it big polaris or lil vega?

Vega is going to be sweet!

Anything below 390 performance is pretty much a write off, it should be hitting stock 980 performance too ideally.

If it really is 10-15% below a 970 like some of these benches claim it's pretty much DOA.

Though it does contradict the AoS benches that leaked when the card was announced. As well as some other people on youtube who got cards early, but whatever, feasibly the lowest benches represent the average.

That fuckin heatsink.
It probably handles the GPU at stock just fine, OC and you get meltdown.
That's probably the reason they only stuck one 6pin on the card.

there is no big polaris, senpai

>480 between 970 and 980

That would be AMAZING.

It's about fucking time.

Estimated Stock 980 performance. The bench you have been seeing is the stock 480 vs a $360 over clocked 970. With that said...we have to wait for bench anyhow.

>functionality can be updated with microcode
securefags buttblasted

but it's not like they use gpu anyway

If this is true I can peacefully forget about the 480 now

But these same benches say its also weaker than a 380X, how about that fanboy?

yea, better DX11 performance, I'm surprised they did that.

And CPUs couldn't¿
Also AMD and Nvidia issue microcode updates via their drivers for years.

POOLARIS

Here's what NOT to buy.

Reference
XFX
Powercolor unless their ultra high end models
ASUS unless they fixed their heatsink jewery

Oh sorry I'm not here to argue. I don't fall for that -=)

DX12 memory pooling 8GB+8GB=16GB with developer support of course.

>RX 480 is announced
>two of them easily beat a GTX 1080 with only 51% GPU usage, and with better efficiency too
>beg my grandma for some money from her pension, but she doesn't give me any because I asked her for money for some mlp figurines a month ago
>steal some of her meds and sell them to get $200
>take a loan for $600 so I can buy two extra and sell them for $300 after release
>more benchmarks come out which show RX 480 having Fury level performance
>it can also OC to 1600 MHz and beat GTX 1070
>feel as if I've made the best investment in my life
>new benchmarks come out and claim it can't even beat a 980
>this can't be true
>the review samples can't oc for more than 5%
>this is all lies
>polish benchmarks say it loses to a 970
>no, no, this is all wrong, this can't be happening
What am I going to do guys? I already preordered the cards and I can't cancel it. The loan has a 20% interest rate, and if I can't sell the two extra cards for $300, I can't pay off the loan.

Why not XFX?
XFX Black Edition comes with 2 year warranty, backplate and a HDMI to DVI cable.

that's 390 in the back

How's MSI? i currently have one and feel the cooler is a bit loud, but maybe the 480 will push that less than my 270.

DESU i'd probably get a 480 regardless since it represents a decent leap over my 270.

that is a really stupid, meaningless change

nigga the benchmarks arent even out yet

Did you really do this?

Because XFX assembly is garbage and they use lowest end components and semen for solder

You're stupid for not waiting for the benchmarks before ordering, thats your problem.

It was always weaker then the 390x
This char is from weeks ago

Cancel preorders. Get a 1070/1080. If they've already shipped, return them, so long as they are unopened you'd get your money back.

All reference cards are built by AMD/Nvidia and re branded. Only the after market(AIB) XFX cards use custom components...unless thats what you're talking about? I usually by MSI custom cards.

Why don't you niggers just wait a few hours until real benchmarks come out? I can't believe you're falling for clickbait

>out of stock
oh no, what to do

>I can't believe you're falling for clickbait
I can't believe you're falling for trollpost

Reading comprehension captain compensation. a 380. weaker than a 380. Weaker than it's previous generation incarnation.

Eat Nvidia's B.A.S.E.D dust, MAD slut.

Thats what happens when they take advice from Sup Forums in which all RX480 information so far has been based on rumors.

Dude, there are so many retards around I can't tell who's trolling or not anymore

I thought I made it obvious enough with the mlp figurines, stealing grandma's meds and taking out a loan for a graphics card.

It's nice to see you spending time on the AMD thread but you're calling me mad lol thanks bud.

they release tomorrow sdfu

Cool ROP figures

it's not just name changed, the whole interface got a huge makeover and the core was reworked as well.

Honestly can't say that with certainty on Sup Forums.

How the fuck does Nvidia's 16nm card with the same computing power and same power usage outperform AMD's 14nm card.

Just how fucking incompetent is AMD

Are you fucking retarded

>It was always weaker then the 390x
?

CORRECTION -- ROPs are 32*
Why don't you correct it? If you're here?

>1070
>$380

Damn this is depressing. Goes in Europe for 500€, about $550.

It doesn't have the same power consumption.

Shouldn't the 480 be faster then?

Yea thats correct because i see a 480X there and there is no 480X the bottom one is the 480 and its below the 390x......am I correct?

What's a fiscal paradise to move to that has minimal import tax?

>2015+1
>not having a personal stallion which you can milk every morning for some fresh thermal compound
>still using artic meme

WAIT FOR THE BENCH MARKS ASSHOLE I DONT HAVE THE FUCKING CARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD THIS IS ALL SPECULATION HOW OLD ARE YOU KIDS!!!

The nvidia gpu is 40% bigger and uses 50-60% more power.

67DF:C7 is 480.

>wait for the benchmarks

Mate, the long NDA alone should tell you everything you need to know about the 480

No, spastic.
They are entirely different architectures and that is not quantified there in simplistic bullet points.
The 480 doesn't compete with the 1070. It is positioned around the GTX 970 and 980.

dx12 games in the next 6 months. Can you name some for me as im not sure which ones you refer to?

none cares about this fail
get out ayymd shill

So why are you asking me?

Pretty much this, if AMD were proud of their card they would of went out of their way to have people review it before launch. Too bad AMD children don't understand this.

Not him but I only play BF and BF1 will be DX12 so this card will be perfect for me.

this t͏bh

>playing modern FPS
Ha ha

BF1 is WW1 so its not modern -=)

Not user but its going to be GOTY

Shit, you're right

either this is bait or you are one dumb nigger who think buying dual blower cards in crossfire is a good idea. Ebin

I have to agree with that guy. The only cards that have ever failed on me were XFX cards. One was an 8800GT that crapped out after a year or so, back when they used to make Nvidia cards, and the other was an R9 290X DD that died after only 2 months. Every other card that I've bought from other manufacturers worked just fine. I even have an EVGA 8600GTS that still runs even though it must be close to 10 years old.

>RX 480 is going to BTFO of Nvidia
>literally up to 24 hours ago
>Now
>Just wait for our next messiah to not get fucked by 2 year old Nvidia cards

Never change AMShits

this is a very important point

hiding the truth until the moment the card is released is shady as fuck

Thanks for your comment.

it's irrelevant for hardware nobody buys day one except americans and retards

>muh holding the truth

actually believing this
if you really think about it you should realize how retarded it sounds

Arnt all referance cards just the same shit with a diffrent sticker on em? I wanted to get the XFX because it comes with a backplate.

Will they ever learn. bro? I keep hoping after each AMD blunder they would realize their foolishness. They don't though.

xfx is also 1350 mghz and $269 for 8gb

No it isn't you retarded fuck. An NDA is a standard practice, and the industry itself wants them for marketing purposes.

The first sites to release reviews get the most traffic, so sites who jump the gun get the lion's share of web traffic. That makes everyone else butthurt, so they complain to the hardware vendor. The NDA is put in place, among other reasons, so that all reviews go live at the same time.

Its really like you 12 year old dipshit children have never seen a single GPU released ever before.

>Costs less than a 970
>Comparable to the OC version of it
>Has a fuckton more of VRAM to not choke every 5 seconds

How is it getting to get BTFO again?
